The patient who experiences nausea produces less stomach acid. The nurse recognizes this as having what effect?
A) Increases the feeling of nausea
B) Protects the lining of the upper GI tract
C) Stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system
D) Directs fluid to mucus production in the small bowel
B
Feedback:
There is a large increase in the production of mucus in the upper GI tract, which is accompanied by a decrease in gastric acid production. This action protects the lining of the GI tract from potential damage by the acidic stomach contents when vomiting occurs. It does not increase the feeling of nausea, stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, nor does it direct fluid to mucus production.
